The building which houses Passing Clouds, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, was bought last year by Landhold Developments, which said it applied for an eviction order after the tenants refused to look for alternative premises.

On Friday, demonstrators gathered outside Clerkenwell and Shoreditch county court as that eviction order was granted.

Eleanor Wilson, who founded Passing Clouds, said the eviction order was issued before she had an opportunity to consider the new 15-year lease, the annual rent for which was more than three times that which she had paid before.
